Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim US naval engineer allegedly gave agent info on how to sink carrier

“During their first meeting in a park in Hampton, Va., Awwad explained to ‘Yousef’ that he intended to use his position to obtain military technology for use by the Egyptian government, including but not limited to, the designs of the USS Gerald Ford nuclear aircraft carrier.” Why he would think that the current Egyptian government would be interested in learning how to sink an American military vessel with a missile is unclear. So is his connection, if any, to jihadists and the global jihad. At very least, however, his story indicates how easy it would be for jihadists to get into positions where they would have access to sensitive information.

“Saudi-born US naval engineer allegedly gave undercover agent info on how to sink carrier,” FoxNews.com, December 6, 2014:

A Naval engineer is facing charges that he gave an FBI undercover agent posing as an Egyptian intelligence officer secret documents about the new Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier while discussing how to sink the vessel with a missile.

Mostafa Ahmed Awwad, 35, of Yorktown, Va., was arrested Friday on an FBI affidavit that reads like it came from a Tom Clancy novel.

Federal prosecutors in Virginia say that during his conversations with the undercover, Awwad arranged to use a dead-drop location along a secluded hiking trail to pass secrets about the Ford, which is being built in Virginia for delivery to the Navy in 2016.

The affidavit says that at a hotel meeting on Oct. 9 Awwad gave the undercover drawings of the aircraft carrier that he said were top secret. During the meeting, “Awwad discussed where to strike the vessel with a missile in order to sink it,” the affidavit says.

The FBI undercover was posing as an Egyptian spy named “Yousef” and spoke to Awwad in Arabic.

The Virginian Pilot said Saturday that Awwad cried as he was led into the courtroom for a brief hearing before a federal magistrate judge in Norfolk. He wore a pink collared shirts, sweater vest and tan pants, the paper said.

The judge ordered Awwad detained until a hearing Wednesday.

The indictment accuses Awwad of two counts of attempted exportation of defense articles and technical data. Each count is punishable by 20 years in prison.

The affidavit says Awwad was born in Saudia [sic] Arabia and married a U.S. citizen in Cairo in 2007. After his marriage he took steps to become an American citizen.

The court papers also say the Navy hired Awwad to work in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s nuclear engineering and planning department in February and that he got a security clearance in August.

The FBI sting began in September when the undercover contacted Awwad. The court papers do not say why Awwad became a target.

During their first meeting in a park in Hampton, Va., Awwad explained to “Yousef” that he intended to use his position to obtain military technology for use by the Egyptian government, including but not limited to, the designs of the USS Gerald Ford nuclear aircraft carrier….

Comments

The Egyptian government may not be interested in information about how to sink an American carrier, but China most certainly is. The Egyptians could accordingly either sell or trade the intel to China, much as Israel did in transferring much of their spy Jonathan Pollard’s take to the Soviet Union back in the 80s.

Allowing Muslims in the U.S. military is a massively bad idea, due to the Jihadist nature of Islam itself. The very basis of Islam is not only ultimate allegiance to Allah, but also commitment to Jihad (the Holy Struggle) as well.

The bottom line is that no genuine Muslim can have loyalty to the interests of the U.S., but rather, will take every opportunity to undermine our interests, and will support the promotion of Muslim supremacy.

Being a confessed Muslim should automatically disqualify them regarding military service.

The DoD has been letting Saudis and other Muslims not only work but hold the highest level security clearances there is ever since the 90’s.This includes Black Programs as well. I know because I worked with them.

I personally knew two men born and raised in Saudi Arabia who worked on Black programs.

Now it’s not like there aren’t Americans who can do these jobs – there is.

It’s about political correctness and affirmative action hiring policies.

When even men like you who do this type of stuff confirm it reinforces how bad our current position is in this country regarding the global war we are involved with. Soldiers lives in the military also seem to play second fiddle when it comes to political correctness. The rules of engagement our soldiers fight under is suicidal, and in my opinion has cost the lives of a lot of troops. What’s worse the enemy uses the rules of engagement against our men to inflict further troop losses and we refuse to adapt or change the rules of engagement. It seems like the powers that be care very little about our fighting men and women, and avoiding bad press seems to be more important than soldiers lives.

I have been warning Americans & Europeans for YEARS that it is IMPOSSIBLE for any believing follower of Muhammad to be LOYAL to any Laws or Constitutions that are NOT Sharia compliant (from Allah) nor can any of them be LOYAL citizens to any human grouping that is NOT Muslim

Although the above assertions cover every Muslim outside Dar al Islam (Muslim countries) in Dar al Harb (countries of WAR because they are NOT Islamic) I challenge any reader to prove me WRONG!

Al Imran 3:85 “ If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be accepted of him …”

take not the Jews [Yahood] and the Christians [Nasara] for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other.
And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…”

*** The implications of the last sentence is of immense importance “And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…” meaning that any followers of Muhammad who befriend or under the rule of Christians or Jews (or any none Muslim group) would be considered Apostates to Islam, outsiders to Islam, enemies of Islam who must be slaughtered.

In a nutshell, no Muslim can ever be loyal to the American Constitution because it is NOT from Allah nor can any of them be loyal citizens because none Muslim Americans are Infidels/ Kuffar/ Unbelievers/ Kafiroon ***

I shall not be surprised (and am putting on the record) when one day a Muslim officer in one of the US armed forces would conduct a suicide mission on a Naval vessel (or a military installation) with cataclysmic losses

The ones who will be SHOCKED are the very Military, Politicians, Intelligence agencies and Do Gooders who have consistently IGNORED all the Facts & Realities about Islam looking them eyeball to eyeball and will stupidly ask: WHY?

The problem with the news accounts and the original Stars & Stripes article is they do not go into details, although brushed over, how was this person able to get clearance. Was a thorough background check done or because of political correctness were certain aspects ignored? How was that background check conducted and how far back did they go in researching the candidate. Who were the people that were interviewed during the background check? Who did he get married to and what was she doing in Saudi Arabia? Was this a real marriage or an operation to infiltrate US facilities that deal with the United States military? Who were this persons past associates? How many foreign born engineers and specialists (i.e. – Computer programmers & engineers, weapons designers, etc) are working as contractors or employed by companies that do work for the Defense Department or in any way associated with US National Defense. How in-depth were the background checks on those folks?

NEVER trust a Muslim unless he openly and publicly rejects Islam.
NEVER vote for a PC politician. Those who already are in office MUST be removed by FORCE.
NEVER surrender your weapons. Unfortunately, it’s too late for most Western countries and it’s already happening in the U.S.A.

God only knows how many more of these traitorous savages have high-level security clearances in the military and government agencies, like Homeland Security. You would think that after Ft. Hood, the military would be a little more prudent about who has access to our most sensitive intel but as someone else said, political correctness trumps national security every time. When will the idiots in Washington start putting America first and openly admit that no muslim can be trusted?! Considering all the ‘stings’ we’ve heard about involving muslim wannabe terroists, there is apparently some legitimate concern yet the muslim fifth column continues to infiltrate every institution in America. Muslims cannot be loyal, patriotic Americans because islam forbids it. Muslims are treacherous traitors, not ‘average’ people with the same goals and desires we all have. If I have enough sense to understand this simple fact, why don’t they?

The awarding of high level security clearances to foreign born naturalized citizens is insanity. The US lost the detailed designs of its nuclear warheads through a naturalized Chinese who was granted a high level clearance at the US nuclear weapons laboratories during the Clinton security standdown at these facilities. All a foreign intelligence agency has to do is recruit young, find their plant an American to marry, and be patient. Our intelligence services and classified technology sector are riddled with naturalized moles for foreign intelligence services.

It’s worse than that, I read an article on Breitbart about how China, Russia, Iran ect keep hacking us with impunity and everyone continues business as usual ignoring the fact we were hacked. Our enemies have realized that there is no consequences for hacking the U.S so they are more emboldened than ever. Basically all you need to do as an enemy nation is invest some money and bankroll a large network of hackers and the Return on your Investment will be quite large. We spend billions to hundreds of billions developing new technology only to have our enemies simply steal it easily. The new Chinese fighter is even based on stolen f-35 data, though that may be the one time that trying to copy everything we create and creating nothing yourself backfired, since the f-35 is such a garbage plane. If I were the enemy of the U.S I’d simply fund and recruit the best hackers in the world and go to town, which our enemies are. The U.S is giving away free candy with no consequences.
